Blewązka is a reservoir located west of Kobyla Góra on the Wzgórza Ostrzeszowskie hills, created between 1972 and 1983 by damming the Meresznica stream. Spanning approximately 900 meters in length with a maximum width of 520 meters and reaching depths of about 7 meters, the roughly 18-hectare water body is surrounded by pine forest and features a sandy beach along its shoreline.
The reservoir was created between 1972 and 1983 by damming the Meresznica stream.
